OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Russell Simmons former girlfriend has blasted reports the hip-hop mogul’s controlling ways led to their split. Former Star Search model Porschla Coleman came to Simmons’ defense on Friday (11Jul08), hitting back at claims his demanding personality put a strain on their relationship. She tells the New York Daily News, “I am not prepared to go into detail, but Russell is my best friend. There is no anger on either of our parts. It was a mutual decision. We just decided to be friends, and we’re both very happy.”

Coleman adds Simmons has even helped her redecorate her new apartment, now that she is moving out of the pair’s shared home. She says, “It’s around the corner, and he helped me pick it (the furniture) out.” The couple began dating last year but split last month (Jun08). Simmons was previously married to his former Phat Fashions colleague Kimora Lee. They separated in March 2006.

What a nice fella, keeping it cool with his Ex-helping move furniture, etc. Gotta keep it cool, when you are having a rough time with the lay-dies. Never know when you need to cash in that After Hours Pass, LOL! I feel you Russell, we have all been there at some point!
